Salah’s Stellar Performance Propels Liverpool to a 5-0 Victory at Old Trafford
Mohamed Salah delivered a sensational hat-trick as Liverpool demolished Manchester United 5-0 at Old Trafford on October 24, 2021. The first half saw Liverpool dominate, leading 4-0 at the break, with the scoreline only telling part of the story—United were fortunate not to concede more.
As boos echoed through the stadium from the United fans at half-time, it became evident that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær was under immense pressure. The second half was no better for the Red Devils as Salah completed his hat-trick with a goal in the 50th minute. The match was compounded by a red card for Paul Pogba, who was sent off for a reckless tackle on Naby Keïta. The Liverpool midfielder was stretchered off, adding to United’s woes.
Despite United’s attempts to recover, the match ended with Liverpool cruising to a dominant 5-0 win, leaving Solskjær’s future in jeopardy amidst the overwhelming disappointment of the home crowd.
